I'd say slow down and enjoy the story

#

it's not like the jobs are going anywhere

warped nest
#

you can grind, but you will end with up 2 lvl 50 jobs and nothing done on the story

#

btw, Dark Knight is locked further down the story

mild ermine
#

And Dark Knight was level 30

slate arrow
#

oh yeah DRK is locked behind the entirety of the 2.X quests

mild ermine
#

But you have to get to Ishgard

warped nest
#

Dark Knight need level 50 job to unlock, and it starts at lvl 30

slate arrow
#

so if you rush you'll probably be burned out

mild ermine
#

What class are you playing now?

trim badge
#

hmm, I'm going to slow down a little xD

#

thanks for replying ❤️

#

BLM

slate arrow
#

fortunately for SAM you just need a level 50 job

#

So you can just play that until HW to tide you over

hoary storm
#

You also need SB for SAM

trim badge
#

does this classes start at 50?

slate arrow
#

Stormblood jobs start at 50

trim badge
#

hmm

late igloo
#

If I'm 70 whm and want to swap to Sam should i just do duty finder to level?

mild ermine
#

Sam and red mage

trim badge
#

cool, I thought I hard to lvl up from start again

#

thats a relief

mild ermine
#

Roulettes and dungeons

slate arrow
#

yeah no expansion jobs start pre leveled

mild ermine
#

Fate trains

warped nest
#

Daily roulette > highest level dungeon (but not 50/60/70) > POTD/HOH only if roulette/dungeon has way worse queue

mild ermine
#

Hunting

slate arrow
#

Beast Tribes offer a decent bit of EXP

mild ermine
#

I haven’t utilized those yet myself

warped nest
#

FATE train is fine if you don't want to do dungeons or potd, hunting/beast tribes are daily stuff don't rely on them too much

mild ermine
#

I usually just grind fates while dungeon queue

#

If I don’t have anything else to do

#

Like hunts

#

I haven’t tried beast tribes myself though

late igloo
#

Cool

mild ermine
#

What do they even make you do ?

slate arrow
#

They offer 5-15% of your current EXP bar if it's current expansion

late igloo
#

Oh nice

mild ermine
#

Is it just like leves?

hoary storm
#

They make you do chores they dont want to do haha

slate arrow
#

mostly just running around and killing/crafting/gathering stuff

mild ermine
warped nest
#

there are daily quotas

trim badge
#

I thought SAM started at LVL 1, I was planning to play with him through the story, now I know it starts at 50, I'm just going to enjoy the story, and again, thanks for replying you all

late igloo
#

Playing on PS4 is way harder than PC

mild ermine
#

Wow so fun. But I’ll do it for the exp.

warped nest
#

so don't rely on them solely

mild ermine
#

Enjoy Quiode.

warped nest
#

the only hard part on PS4 is typing

#

everything else should be just as fast as PC

late igloo
#

UI is so big

mild ermine
#

Get a keyboard and mouse for PS4

late igloo
#

Hard to see

warped nest
#

adjust your UI then

mild ermine
#

My friend plays that way

late igloo
#

I'll have to mess w the settings more

mild ermine
#

You can adjust the ui and hotbars to your liking

warped nest
#

the UI is fully customizable

late igloo
#

Interesting

#

I must have missed it thanks

mild ermine
#

Good luck

warped nest
#

the first thing i remove is the inventory grid and the menu shortcut (the 5 cicle buttons)

mild ermine
#

I was just gonna come here to ask how I should level from 70 to 80

#

Roulettes are currently done

late igloo
#

So since I skipped msq and level, what are some content related things I need to seek out to unlock?

warped nest
#

roulette > dungeons > FATEs

polar cairn
#

What is the best resolution when playing ffxiv

warped nest
#

at 70, you want to do the lvl 69 dungeon

mild ermine
#

But dungeon queues are long for dps so yeah I guess fates and best tribes

#

Why the 69 one

warped nest
#

you want to be above 720 at the very least

mild ermine
#

And until when?

warped nest
#

cuz level 70 dungeons were the endgame dungeon in Stormblood so they gave no exp

mild ermine
#

71?

late igloo
#

And speaking with dungeons, any place with guides for all the dungeons mechanics?

warped nest
#

in Shadowbringers, these lvl 70 dungeons give some exp, but not as good as lvl 69 dungeon

mild ermine
#

Wow really?

#

I never thought of it that way

warped nest
#

you are expected to learn and ask, there is no list

mild ermine
warped nest
#

same deal with lvl 50 and 60 dungeons

#

@polar cairn you want at least 720

polar cairn
#

What

warped nest
#

then it is just whatever is comfortable for you

#

(i don't even think the game can physically go lower...)

late igloo
#

Hmm maybe I'll just run around and do every side quest ever

amber timber
#

Hey I’m new to this game what’s the recommend US server and is their a guild for helping new players?

late igloo
#

Oh a FC would be great

warped nest
#

Arcturus, just look out for bluequest

late igloo
#

Yeah blue is the content right?

#

Just so much to do maybe if I do all of those it'll feel like less too

polar cairn
#

I saw some people fondling with their resolutions and were able to make the viewing able wider.

late igloo
#

Lol

warped nest
#

it comes down to personal preference

#

your question is "what is the best resolution when playing ffxiv"

#

the game window can be dragged into 21:9

#

but i don't know what you are using

#

you can even play the game on 4:3 if you want to

obsidian patio
#

@amber timber Aether/Primal/Crystal. I recommend preferred servers for the experience boost if you don’t mind the possible wait time to make a character on them

amber timber
#

okay I am on primal

obsidian patio
#

!preffered primal

amber timber
#

Any good classes to learn the basics of the game or it all very straightfoward

#

!preffered primal

warped nest
#

spelled preferred wrong

obsidian patio
#

!preferred primal

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Primal:
Famfrit

vagrant copper
#

... Famfrit is open... during primetime?

warped nest
#

i personally recommend tank

#

but it comes down to personal preference

#

tank, healer, dps, all can do the story and learn the gameplay

amber timber
#

ive only really ever played wow before this, is there any thing similar to classes from that game

#

I was always a DK, a Hunter, and a Warrior

static yacht
#

the closest thing to something from WoW is black mage

#

which is similar to boomkin in WoW

amber timber
#

oooooo i love druid in wow

normal nova
#

whats the best way to get the 2nd tier tank mounts playing solo?

static yacht
#

also I guess BRD is similar to ench shaman if they were ranged

warped nest
#

for wow player coming into XIV, i just have reminders:

  • this game doesn't have race-specific jobs
  • you can play all jobs on a single character
  • there are no stat difference in race (people who know the details, don't waste text space talking about this, because the discussion will just end with "so effectively there is no difference")
cold crescent
#

yoooo im boutta unlock lieutenant 2nd class, where do i go in mist to grab an aprtment

vagrant copper
#

The big apartment building. It has a special icon on the map

amber timber
#

So im thinking of black mage and primal, is there a guild on there or anyone on there that I can add if i want to message in game

summer haven
#

when you cast glam, is it on the item or the item slot? Meaning, if i swap gear, will the glam remain?

cold crescent
#

ite. can i set that as my home btw? like get a teleport button for the apartment?

vagrant copper
#

Glamours are on specific items

warped nest
#

item

summer haven
#

weak, so basically pointless to do while leveling

cold crescent
#

use a glamour plate

faint flare
#

^

cold crescent
#

ezpz

warped nest
#

glamour plate works on gearset, not on the slot

#

but it is miles easier than using direct glamour

summer haven
#

they're not consumable?

faint flare
#

Glamour plates lets you apply glamour for free provided you're in a city

cold crescent
#

costs nothing to cast the glamor plate, you can just do it on all the new equipment you get

warped nest
#

glamour plate only need the one-off cost in setting up

summer haven
#

Ahh ok. thought i'd have to buy a new one every few levels

cold crescent
#

is every apartment in mist the same by the way? are there any differences among the different rooms?

warped nest
#

more details on Glamour Plate

faint flare
#

They're all the same

Glamour Dresser FAQ
Info

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

summer haven
#

thx

warped nest
#

just in case you want to dye these

#

dyes applied on the glamour plate are store on the plate, so if you remove the plate, the dye is gone, so don't use expensive dye there

#

you want to use expensive dye on the item itself

#

then access the dyed gear from your glamour plate

amber timber
#

so what class becomes the black mage?

vagrant copper
#

Thaumatuage

#

Or however you spell it

amber timber
#

ty

#

So this homeworld i picked farmfrit

#

Does the lock me out from other worlds on primal or not?

little swift
#

No everything is cross server

#

Except fcs and housing

#

Is it true that the developers occasionally play the game?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

all the devs have secret characters

mossy tartan
#

Awwwwh

slate arrow
#

yoshi-p regularly plays on a JP server but they do have admin accounts for events and such

mossy tartan
#

That’s quite heartwarming for some reason

#

I appreciate the game even more now, the developers as well

faint flare
#

Yoshi occasionally comes to other servers and hangs out

scenic orbit
#

Is this what I'd want as a white mage in regards to macro for raise

#

I don't have the ressurrection or ascend skill actions yet

warped nest
#

that's Scholar and Astrologian

scenic orbit
#

So I could end it at raise

warped nest
#

this is universal for all 3 healers

#

yeah

proud willow
#

It'll work, but it would be better to have two buttons if at all possible

vagrant copper
#

I'm not a fan of having swiftcast as part of the macro but ehhh

faint flare
scenic orbit
#

What do you mean having two buttons?

#

For what

warped nest
#

i personally only uses the /p raising part and do the raise manually

faint flare
#

Have the text be its own thing

proud willow
#

one button for Swiftcast, a second button to macro Raise and /p

scenic orbit
#

If that's the case why bother with macro at all

#

The only point is for it to be paired together right

warped nest
#

the /p part tells your party member you are raising

faint flare
#

You generally shouldnt as macros are slower and unreliable

warped nest
#

so other healer or people with raise spell don't waste their time

faint flare
#

And you lose control

vagrant copper
#

Who's telling you to use the macro? lol

warped nest
#

raise macro is fine

scenic orbit
#

Someone here told me about it yesterday

warped nest
#

raise macro and ground target macro is fine

faint flare
#

If anything just raise and text is fine itself

warped nest
#

/\

scenic orbit
#

What if people don't bother looking at the text chat though

warped nest
#

that's their issue

faint flare
#

With the text after the raise with a wait1 so you dont spam chat

warped nest
#

plus your /p ends with a <se.10>

#

se stands for sound effects

#

se.1
se.2
etc

scenic orbit
#

I already checked out all the se and for raise I would like to use se.7

warped nest
#

people wil hear the chime, if they still don't want to read, that's their problem, not yours

scenic orbit
#

Would you mind helping me form the macro if it's not trouble for you 😅

hoary storm
#

is wait on raise macro good?

warped nest
#
/micon Raise
/p Raising <t> <se.7> <wait.1>
/ac Raise
hoary storm
#

I just spam mine

faint flare
#

I prefer it so you dont spam chat

#

When you inevitably spam the button

scenic orbit
#

Smart

faint flare
#

Trying to get it off

scenic orbit
#

Ty lchronos

warped nest
#

i think the syntax should be correct, Vinyl, can you check?

scenic orbit
#

Hopefully I understand macros better soon so I don't have to rely on help for it lol

hoary storm
#

I usually set wait2 for the msg so it doesnt get spammed

faint flare
#

Should be fine

warped nest
#

you don't really have to understand macros

#

it is very niche for combat

#

it is for convenience and QoL in other areas

scenic orbit
#

I'm on controller so I feel there are some things it'd be very helpful for

#

Qol?

faint flare
#

I personally swap the chat line and raise to avoid the chat spamming but thats me

warped nest
#

quality of life

scenic orbit
#

Ah gotcha

#

What is syntax? The wording for the macro you cooked up for me?

#

/micon Raise
/p Raising <t> <se.7> <wait.1>
/ac Raise

faint flare
#

How it's formatted

#

Basically

warped nest
#

i have a macro to toggle duty list and utility hotbar (mounts, teleport)

proud willow
#

wait, yeah, the chat should at the end

#

If you put the chat before the wait, you'd end up spamming the chat

scenic orbit
#

I'm too afraid to edit it c_

warped nest
#

it won't set the game on fire if you type it wrong

scenic orbit
#

Hahaha

warped nest
#

if that's what you are worrying about

proud willow
#

/micon Raise
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/p Raising <t> <se.7>

warped nest
#

/\

scenic orbit
#

I'm more worried about having something become inconvenient but not enough so that I realize it. Then I play through the whole game with it

proud willow
#

valid fear

faint flare
#

Ofc you can duplicate the raise line for it to have a slightly better chance to fire

#

With the wait on the last line

raw solstice
#

my recommendation:

/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/micon Raise```
faint flare
#

^

proud willow
#

Like getting all the way to ShB before realizing that you can teleport by clicking the aetheryte icon that's right on the map

raw solstice
#

repeat the raise line as many times as can fit

scenic orbit
#

What I don't understand, why repeat it?

faint flare
#

Cause macros dont skill que

#

So they're iffy whem they decide to activate

raw solstice
#

if you press the macro slightly before the GCD is up, or while you're in the middle of an animation from using another spell/ability

faint flare
#

Repeating the line helps it fire

raw solstice
#

with only one line it'll try to execute it while you're in that animation

hoary storm
#

or realizing you can highlight the aethryte icon on map by holding ctrl so quests markers dont block it 😄

raw solstice
#

and that'll fail and it won't execute

#

repeating the line multiple times has it spam it that many times in a row, more likely to have it go off reliably

scenic orbit
#

Ok so you have raise activation 4 times in that. How much time is between each of those 4 activations?

faint flare
#

One frame iirc

raw solstice
#

it sends one per frame yes

vagrant copper
#

16.7 ms?

#

Maybe 33ms

raw solstice
#

it actually is not a set time

#

it will vary based on fps

warped nest
#

tldr: macro is weird and not as reliable as you think

scenic orbit
#

Do you have an average of how long the activation window is across all 4 of them?

warped nest
#

nope

scenic orbit
#

Ok

#

/merror off
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/micon Raise

raw solstice
#

also I just listed 4 there just as an example

#

you should put the line as many times as can fit

scenic orbit
#

I'll try this then but how do I add the party msg and se.7 to it :S

warped nest
#

(that's why i just have a single line of /p raising <t> <se.1>)

#

(and do the raise manually)

faint flare
#

You just add it after the wait.1 line

scenic orbit
#

/merror off
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t>
/ac Raise <t> <wait.1>
/p Raising <t> <se.7>
/micon Raise

#

Is that right?

faint flare
#

Yes

scenic orbit
#

Also what does /merror off mean?

faint flare
#

It turns off macro error messages

#

So you're not constantly spammed with "you cant do this right now" system messages

warped nest
#

should we also just teach the Asylum / Ground AOE macro?

#

might as well

#

at this point

scenic orbit
#

I don't have asylum yet

#

But I'd store the macro somewhere for when I do get it

faint flare
#

Eh i like trying it without it...controller ground aoes aren't that bad

scenic orbit
#

Do you have to manuially aim it?

warped nest
#

the macro i know allows manual aiming too

faint flare
#

Yes, but i have the ground target aoe a set distance and just control it via camera

#

Instead of doing that screwy hold L1 shit

warped nest
#

L1 is whacked

#

camera/character movement is good enough for placing ground AOE

So looking up a question I accidently came across an ancient thread somewhere with super outdated info. I thought I needed to earn lvls in Conjurer before I could be a Paladin (the truth is I just needed to do more main quest.

Was there any benefit to me developing my conjurering levels?

faint flare
#

No

unreal aspen
#

if you ever want to play whm

#

then it'll be useful

#

but otherwise no

faint flare
#

Thats extremely outdated info

warped nest
#

ancient thread

#

if you have any questions, try to ask in reddit or here

#

don't do your own homework (as admirable as that is)

faint flare
#

General rule is ignore stuff thats over like a year old or so

#

question i finished shadowbringers a few days ago; what are good ways to make gil with a combat class?

faint flare

As expansions are every 2 years

warped nest

#

Treasure maps

winged wagon
#

I am newer and try not to be a burden lol.

faint flare
#

You'll have to buy them and cut into profits buuuut if you get lucky and get the rare mats its gucci

scenic orbit
#

@faint flare So did you have to change any settings around for asylum yourself?

faint flare
#

I dont no

scenic orbit
#

You said it stays a certain distance and then you control using camera

faint flare
#

Yes, the ground targetting placement kinda remembers how far away it.is from you

#

So i just move my camera around

scenic orbit
#

mk well maybe I'll wait to try that out

#

Which macro number should I be using for the raise macro

#

Oh wait actually I don't even know how to set this macro lmao

#

I've only ever set macro for L3 and R3

#

Which I assigned through keybind

#

But this is different

warped nest
#

just any

twilit arch

you're more than likely going to have to use a vpn to play the game if you're trying to play from korea

as KR has its own client

ah... any really good vpns? prices don't matter

Is it still possible to get the rathalos mount?

twilit arch
#

not sure as i don't use any myself, but a quick glance at some of the old threads someone mentioned they used UltraSurf

#

and that they only need to have it open to launch the game, and can close it once they are in

i'll look into it

#

are they any events ongoing?

marble drift
#

its a small drop in the pond considering. But its enough to see me through

#

Well when 5.3 releases it comes with a new raid tier

#

so you could do what I did

#

if you have the resources

stable hinge
#

im guessing its level locked at 70 or 80

marble drift
#

the new raid teir is 80 yes

stable hinge
#

Rip I got a long way to go

marble drift
#

I'd focus on getting a character to cap before cash Hikari

#

you already have plenty of cash for your level

#

400k before heavensward? thats pretty solid

leaden ginkgo
#

have they ever released a new raid at lower then max level? that doesn't seem like a good idea xP

marble drift
#

Not to my knowledge Drake

cold scarab
#

Is their a loose hierarchy of best dps classes that I, as a Dancer, should be partnering with over other classes in duty finder trials, etc.?

stable hinge
#

I would have more if i didnt succumb to the overpriced stuff on the market board

marble drift
#

That would be a question for the Balance @cold scarab

#

They would have the math numbers for optimizing Dance Partners

nova whale
#

for arcanist does my carbuncle take damage or is it just always there unless i unsummon it or whatever

marble drift
#

Carby's cant get hit

slate arrow
#

carbuncle never takes damage

nova whale
#

oh neat cute and immortal

#

thanks!

marble drift
#

changed in Shadowbringers to make them intangible

#

they used to take damage, some could even tank for you

#

rip chicken nugget

obsidian patio
#

@cold scarab assuming equal skill/gear, SAM/BLM/SMN/MNK > DRG/NIN/RDM/MCH > BRD > DNC

marble drift
#

Huh. samurai first Im assuming cause they generate more esprit?

whole wasp
#

Not really. They just hit hard

marble drift
#

thats fair.

#

the heaviest hitters get the most from % damage buffs

whole wasp
#

And %boost to their damage helps most overall.

leaden ginkgo
#

if I'm reading that right, SAM/BLM/SMN/MNK are equally best, given the arrows. could be wrong ofc

marble drift
#

yeah I think I read it wrong initially

#

seems to be 4 "tiers"

whole wasp
#

Monk would give you more espirit in theory. But RNG is RNG.

marble drift
#

yeah I suppose thats right. Are monks like the "quickest"

#

cause 3 classes have speed increases

#

melee*

whole wasp
#

I pick the monks usually since i see then less often than the others. haha

marble drift
#

GL would put Monks at a breakneck gcd speed no?

cold crescent
#

how do i put furniture and whatnot in my room

leaden ginkgo
#

that's like my entire gaming life @whole wasp lul

marble drift
#

There is a housing option when you are inside a thing you own

whole wasp
#

@cold crescent bottom right social -> housing

marble drift
#

yeah that

#

I knew that

cold crescent
#

cool tyty

#

btw where do i get helpful shit

raw solstice
#

there's a bit of normalization/balancing across jobs for esprit generation. The fact that MNK goes quicker doesn't really change things

cold crescent
#

like beds and summoning bells and whatnot

marble drift
#

There are vendors in whatever housing district you're in

#

they will sell basics

#

everything else is crafted/found/bought

#

I would reccommend you buy a permit for a housing vendor but I believe those are unavailable for appartments

whole wasp
#

There should be a housing vendor in the ward too.

cold crescent
#

it says that i already have a summoning bell and an orchestrion?

#

the npc said that

marble drift
#

Check your inventories/retainers/saddlebags

#

or your house itself? it can store housing items

#

maximum of 2000 iirc?

cold crescent
#

can i get a glamor dresser btw

marble drift
#

😦

#

does that explain it

#

cause it should

cold crescent
#

ok how about a bed

#

for SLEEP

marble drift
#

that you can get. It doesn't log you out like an inn room tho

cold crescent
#

where would that be available

marble drift
#

housing vendors should have

#

fancier ones are a carptener's shtick

cold crescent
#

ofc

#

how about a summoning bell?

nova whale
#

So how long do I keep this sprout status?

whole wasp
#

Im pretty sure you can buy bell from marketboard too.

#

@nova whale 168 hours in game and completing "requiem for heros" msq

#

Which is basically the last quest before shadowbringers.

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys

vagrant copper
#

You can turn it off if you really want to for some reason

leaden ginkgo
#

I just saw this echoes of fallen star thing

#

is it out?

#

already?

marble drift
#

been out for a while

nova whale
#

168 is a really weird number 😂 thanks!

marble drift
#

it was patch 5.2

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh dang

marble drift
#

we're on 5.25? I think

#

5.2X

leaden ginkgo
#

So yorha dark apocalpyse is the 2nd nier raid?

marble drift
#

No. first.

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait what

marble drift
#

Wait. wrong title.

#

doesnt matter.

whole wasp
#

Dark apocalpyse is the name for the whole raid series which has 3 fights total.

marble drift
#

only 1 neir raid right now

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah ok

#

Is there a guide of sorts for rerolling on WT?

#

I am seeing the trailer

#

And it has so many new cutscenes and bosses

whole wasp
#

@leaden ginkgo there is a WT calculator somewhere. Try googling.

leaden ginkgo
#

But I never encountered them yet

#

ty!

#

My main story is just "to be continued"

twilit arch
#

but keep in mind that its RNG

marble drift
#

If you see that Mako you've done the 5.2 MSQ

whole wasp
#

Those are most likely for 5.3 which is the next patch. Expected late june but most likely delayed due to the rona

leaden ginkgo
#

Like ultima's red colored older brother

#

Ahh

twilit arch
#

That's the Ruby weapon trial

leaden ginkgo
#

Why tf they put it here

marble drift
#

yeah thats available now

whole wasp
#

Thats the ruby weapon trial yup.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok

twilit arch
#

Everything in the trailer is in game

leaden ginkgo
#

So I gotta unlock him via a quest?

whole wasp
#

Its avaliable as a bluequest in the ala mihgan quarter

twilit arch
#

the quest unlock is in the lochs

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh yeah I see the eden savage trials too

#

Ifrit and garuda lmfao

#

Ok thanks guys!

#

Btw how did Ifrit transform from a dog into a man?

marble drift
#

Don't you remember the first set of Eden quests?

leaden ginkgo
#

He looks like the ff15 version of him in the new eden trial

#

I skipped everything, they explained there?

marble drift
#

these are memories constructed from our thoughts

#

our memories of those we fought

#

We were tasked with thinking of Ifrit and Garuda.

#

We simple mixed up who had what body

leaden ginkgo
#

Aren't we supposed to remember him as a dog tho?

#

Ah

twilit arch
#

that's not quite it

leaden ginkgo
#

So is the new Ifrit model his ff15 version? if it is, that'd be sick, he hot as hell

oak ice
#

Our memories are "influenced" by other fights

#

Which is why some primals look whack

twilit arch
#

also ryne has a bit of an effect on things as well

#

part of the reason why titan has wheelies

leaden ginkgo
#

I see, I did notice garuda look like a man instead of a robot bird

marble drift
#

as of current patch btw. We have seen everything in the 5.2 trailer

#

in game

#

I just ran the trailer back to refresh my memory

whole wasp
#

We tell rynne about it. Rynne visualizes and tells eden about it. Basically its like a telephone game.

#

And things get shuffled around.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok I see

real anchor
leaden ginkgo
#

Thank u yall

marble drift
#

that is gather or catch

#

you have probably only crafted

little swift
#

have you gathered collectables with your collector's glove on

whole wasp
#

Thats gatherers collectables yup

real anchor
#

I've had the ability on before though

raven sage
#

But did you ever actually gather anything?

#

Just pushing the button doesn't count

#

You have to successfully gather

raw solstice
#

there's a special separate box that pops up for gathering collectibles

#

only certain items can be gathered as collectables, and it'll pop up an extra window when you try to gather them with the glove on. Where you can use appraisal skills to raise collectability, then press a button to gather each time

#

Are there any thing in particular I should know about choosing a Grand Company?

whole wasp
#

!faq grandcompany

zinc orbitBOT
#
Grand Company FAQ
Info

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

hey I'm new to this community i just got a message "You have been dismissed from both the party and the duty." did i disconnect or was i kicked

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a place I can search for server population?

warped nest
#

You are kicked, Myth

leaden ginkgo
#

Aether seems kinda unpopulated compared to Primal

warped nest
#

Can you describe what happened? Which dungeon?

frank anchor
#

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79.
If got a level 70 on Goblin(NA) server back when I played on NA, but I'm not on Phoenix(EU). Do I still get the above xp boost on my Eu Phoenix character?

warped nest

That's universal

Very good ping

marble drift

I am sad

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh thats good ping?

marble drift

very

whole wasp

yup below 100 is very good.

warped nest
#

10ms is less than a frame

leaden ginkgo

Ohh ok

whole wasp

thats like living next door to the server

to get better you'd have to be fuckin playin from insider the damn server room

3-frame fluctuation is barely noticeable tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

Hm so if I connect to north american it seems to be a bit high?

#

Is that playable tho?

raw solstice
#

it's playable but it'll definitely have a bit of impact/feel different

whole wasp
#

thats average ping i would say

leaden ginkgo

I see

#

Cuz I wanna move to America

raw solstice
#

mm that's definitely a bit higher than average

leaden ginkgo
#

With american dream

whole wasp
#

playable if you get used to it but if you are already spoiled with <100ms, it will feel poopy

I feel like people more frendly there

How does fester/aetherflow for arcanist?

leaden ginkgo
#

I see @whole wasp

#

Thank you yall

#

God bless you

marble drift
#

pretty sure thats just because its an english speaking primary

#

not gonna see alot of people who don't speak english on discords that primarily do

leaden ginkgo

Yeah but they also feel more human u know

Like the bigger the country, the bigger the hearts

warped nest
#

How does fester/aetherflow for arcanist?
@nova whale

#

!action Aetherflow

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Aetherflow** : lvl 45 SCH (60.0 second cooldown)

Restores 10% of maximum MP.
Additional Effect: Aetherflow III
Can only be executed while in combat.

warped nest
#

Crap...

mossy current
#

Energy Drain for SMN

warped nest
#

!action Energy Drain

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Energy Drain** : lvl 45 SCH (1 None) (3.0 second cooldown)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150.
Additional Effect: Absorbs a portion of damage dealt as HP and restores MP Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10 Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1

mossy current
#

No

whole wasp
#

lol

mossy current
#

What

warped nest
#

!action Energy Drain SMN

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

mossy current
#

!action Energy Siphon

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Energy Siphon** : lvl 35 SMN (30.0 second cooldown)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 40 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Aetherflow II
Shares a recast timer with Energy Drain.

mossy current
#

Something like this

warped nest
#

Welp, Fester does additional damage on targets affected by your damage over time, so try to make that happen

hot crane
#

say if I wanna level up all the crafting classes at the same time, should I go GC daily or do collectable?

warped nest
#

Energy Drain/Siphon is on 30s cooldown and give you Aetherflow to do Fester or ||Painflare||

unreal aspen
#

yeah try to fester once your dots are up

warped nest
#

Use them whenever they are ready and make sure you spent those Aetherflow

hot crane
#

some people argue that collectable mission gives out more exp so I am confused

mossy current
#

GC daily/Ishgard/Leves

twilit arch
#

i mean gc dailies are once a day

nova whale
#

How long do I get to keep these dots

twilit arch
#

so should be doing those every day

nova whale
#

Or just until I use them

unreal aspen
#

30 sec?

mossy current
#

30 seconds, then refresh them

unreal aspen
#

try to keep them up always

little swift
#

you can mass turn in collectables

warped nest
#

You should have dots on your enemies at all time

twilit arch
#

collectables on the other hand can be done ad nauseum, so you can do those repeatedly

warped nest
#

Unless they are gonna die in 2-3 spell cast

mossy current
#

Start casting miasma, then weave in bio right after, when the DoT countdown is over or close to over

nova whale
#

Oh I meant the aetherflow dots lmao

unreal aspen
#

o

#

u should try to use all ur aetherflow up

hot crane
#

my time is quite limited rn tho. GC is already a bit time consuming already so I only do GC so far.

warped nest
#

Aetherflow ain't dots

unreal aspen
#

before energy drain is up

mossy current
#

Until you use them

warped nest
#

Aetherflow is your resource

twilit arch
#

Then I would just do the gc dailies if you're strapped for time

unreal aspen
#

but its not a dot, its a resource that allows u to use certain abilities

nova whale
#

lol sorry I saw the shiny diamond and my first thought went to dots to describe them

unreal aspen
#

LOL

#

fair

mossy current
#

Use them when you can, it takes about 2 GCDs to be able to Fester again, if still Arcanist without any SpS changes

hot crane
#

ty all 🙂

warped nest
#

Dot is short for damage over time

whole wasp
#

hahaha. 👍

warped nest
#

!action Fester

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Fester** : lvl 18 ACN SMN (1 None) (5.0 second cooldown)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If target is suffering from a Bio or Miasma effect inflicted by you, Fester potency is increased to 200 for one effect, or 300 for both
Effect only applies when the original spells were cast by you.
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1

nova whale
#

So basically I should have my aetherflow ready, drop miasma, bio, fester, then ruin and reapply my dot when it runs out

warped nest
#

Read your tooltips

leaden ginkgo
#

Btw considering how the game is 13+, am I able to report players who be squatting naked on another players dead naked body for indecent public behavior?

unreal aspen
#

yee

#

uhh w..hat

#

who is doing this LMAO

warped nest
#

You can, but no one gives a damn

leaden ginkgo
#

I visit Omega server everyday and I see 2 people at limsa doing that in public

unreal aspen
#

limsa is a wretched place

leaden ginkgo
#

People be just walking by and once they see it they be mesmerized as hell stand there for some good minutes

#

You can, but no one gives a damn
@warped nest thank u imma report them mfs

little swift
#

if they aren't bothering anyone

#

its fine

#

if they're harassing you its a problem

leaden ginkgo
#

Another question about harassment is uh

#

Can u get banned for forcing people out of their usual afk spots?

marble drift
#

no? O_o

leaden ginkgo
#

Cuz if there some people we dont like, me and my frneds just be stripping naked and sitting together at their afk spot and they just go mad af and leave

marble drift
#

unless that "forcing" is a bunch of verbal harrassment

leaden ginkgo
#

For us its like

#

Organized invasion of space through indecent means

unreal aspen
#

if ur just existing in the same space

#

its not harassment

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh dang thats good

#

And if I spam indecent emotes at them?

#

I got an elf character and one of my emotes let me do like a

unreal aspen
#

when i see two people with matchign names sitting ineach others laps in limsa

leaden ginkgo
#

Air thrusting gesture

unreal aspen
#

i get my whole fc together so we can sit on them

leaden ginkgo
#

With sound

#

And they go wild af

#

Nice

#

Sound like my type of gang

#

Yall recruiting?

#

do i need my anima weapon equipped to light farm?

oak ice
#

You need it when you kill the last boss of the dungeon but not otherwise

leaden ginkgo
#

ah, what if im farming a9s

frank anchor
#

ok so stupid question please excuse me XD
How can I tell if I'm getting the xp bonus or not, does it show in chat?

twilit arch
#

then you need it equipped

oak ice
#

Then you need it

leaden ginkgo
#

crap

oak ice
#

Since you can't change mid battle and it needs to be equipped when it dies

twilit arch
#

it shows up in your chat log like so
You gain 9,600 (+100%) arcanist experience points. @frank anchor

#

depending on what bonuses you have active will change the %

frank anchor
#

oh, does it only happen on quest completions ?

twilit arch
#

no

unreal aspen
#

on anythign that gives u exp

twilit arch
#

in fact most of the bonus experience buffs do not apply to quest completion

#

its only road to 70 that does

unreal aspen
#

most exp buffs are for like killing enemies

#

at least the fc actions + food ones

frank anchor
#
You gain 322 (+17%) arcanist experience points.```

and sometimes I get 50% so not sure what the formula is :P
fallen lark
#

Hey guys I was wondering, do I buy shadowbringers now or wait for a ps4 discount? I don't know how much will I wait till it's on sale on the ps store

unreal aspen
#

where are u ?

#

in terms of progression

twilit arch
#

in the open world, you can sometimes get chain bonuses

#

depending on how fast you kill mobs

unreal aspen
#

bc if ur on like arr/heavensward theres no really reason to buy it now

leaden ginkgo
#

they just recently had a shb sale i believe, on pc at least

twilit arch
#

which the higher the chain, the more % bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

not sure how long until the next sale

unreal aspen
#

*real

frank anchor
#

main is level 70, and I'm level 45 atm doing MSQ level 45 and side quests around that level

unreal aspen
#

aaaa

fallen lark
#

I am at the end of heavensward

frank anchor
#

but they are seperate characters

unreal aspen
#

i'd recommend just playing through stormblood

#

and waiting for a sale

#

and if u finish stormblood and it's still not on sale then just buy it

#

for the exp stuff what exp bonus are u trying to get?

hearty garden
#

Can you still learn blue mage spells if you're in a party with someone higher level than you? i.e. I'm a lvl 20 blue mage, and my friend is lvl 67

fairly certain you can, so long as you see the spell cast before its killed

dire hawk
#

sacrificing 300 DH (and allegory) for 300 det and 30 str wurf?

little swift
#

@abstract peak its soloable by some select classes now

#

in most cases mainstat > substat

abstract peak
#

So what about a WHM/WAR or WHM/GNB combo, both at 480 item level?

little swift
#

doable, most of the damage is avoidable in Rathalos

#

and you have 10 mega pots

#

and 2 deaths for free total

abstract peak
#

Oh right it heavily nerfs healing.

little swift
#

not just heavily nerfs

#

healing isn't possible

#

shields are though

#

you can heal in phase 1

#

just fine

abstract peak
#

Right, have to get something else geared up for the wife then I suppose, I think her best set is WHM

#

Which still hits pretty hard for a healer.

rough lance
#

lvl 60 onwards potd or hoh is better?

little swift
#

its fine to run WHM, my friends and i do it all the time

rough lance
#

or both are roughly the same

rocky arrow
#

Can trial players join whatever guilds are called in this game? 🤔

little swift
#

potd is good until 61 iirc

twilit arch
#

hoh 61-70

little swift
#

Can trial players join whatever guilds are called in this game? 🤔
@rocky arrow nope unfortunately not

rough lance
#

and 70-80?

twilit arch
#

ideally should save roulette to get from 60 to 61

#

70-80 you either queue for dungeons and do fates/pixie dailies/hunt bills while waiting or do trust dungeons

rough lance
#

i havn't clear potd to lvl 50 yet so i'm thinking to use lvl 60 to try clear to lvl 50 potd to unlock hoh

little swift
#

your level outside of PotD is not relevant to inside

#

other than the amount of exp you earn from clearing sets of 10 floors

arctic furnace
#

Hey um so I bough a jump potion for bard and i dont find the music instrument? Any idea as to why??

rough lance
#

i mean should i earn exp for lvl 60 char from lvl 1 to 50 in potd or i jus use lower lvl which is more worth it?

twilit arch
#

perform is unlocked via a side quest in gridania

arctic furnace
#

Okay thank you so much

wind kindle
#

Hello, you beautiful people, how do you upgrade your mount's speed?

twilit arch
#

first tier is given to you via specific main scenario quests

#

except for shadowbringers zones, which you need to use bicoloured gems to buy the first tier

#

second tier is gotten via allied seals (for a realm reborn zones) or centurio seals (for heavensward and stormblood zones)

wind kindle
#

cause im currently lvl 45

#

i see. Thank you!

@remote lintel yes

sigh wtb faster queue to do dungeons/leveling to 70

rocky arrow
#

Does the game go on sale very often?

faint flare
#

Not really...maybe like twice a year

rocky arrow
#

Oof.

#

Then again, $60 isn't terrible for the whole shabang.

#

Thanks for answering my random questions duders.,

mossy current
#

@glossy sapphire level 60 and beat the MSQ "Heavensward"

mossy tartan
#

Are free companies and fellowships one and the same?

twilit arch
#

no

#

fellowships are like bulletin boards

fresh lodge
#

No, FC are your typical guild

twilit arch
#

free companies are player guilds

mossy tartan
#

ahhh

glossy sapphire
#

@glossy sapphire level 60 and beat the MSQ "Heavensward"
thank you im still at heavensward

mossy tartan
#

Is there a list of free companies in-game? Like the list of fellowships?

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

twilit arch
#

not in-game no

leaden ginkgo
#

oh wait nvm

#

I was thinking of the search function

twilit arch
#

you can look up free companies on the lodestone

leaden ginkgo
#

you can look them up in game too, just doesn't have as much info 😛

mossy current
#

But you can only apply in-game

mossy tartan
#

Do they have an activity measurement? I wouldn’t want to join a dead company

leaden ginkgo
#

iirc

twilit arch
#

looking them up in-game either requires knowing someone who's in the free company

#

or going to their house (assuming they have one)

mossy current
#

In the description it shows the number of active members with the total number of members

leaden ginkgo
#

ah ok, my memory is off then

mossy tartan
#

It’s ok. thank you for attempting to help : )

arctic furnace
#

Hello so i bought a jump potion for bard. Ive been looking for the quest to unlock he’s music but cant seem to find it

twilit arch
#

its in old gridania, near the amphitheater

#

Plucking the Heartstrings is the name of it

arctic furnace
#

Ok ty

surreal panther
#

Can i no longer play for free to level 35 anymore? I had to reinstall the game on my new computer and it is asking me for a registration code

rocky arrow
#

Did you sign into an account?

#

I'm playing the trial right now.

surreal panther
#

I tried to. It asked for a code

rocky arrow
#

Did you ever sub with that account?

#

Or buy the game?

surreal panther
#

No i never subbed or bought the game

twilit arch
#

it sounds like you may've downloaded the full game and not the trial

#

!faq gotrial

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

try downloading this instead and see if that works

surreal panther
#

I'll try that

#

I wanna get to level 35 before i think about buying the game and a sub

idle heath
#

Hey so what’s the max level for materia? I have a crapton of IV materias... should I sell em?

surreal panther
#

on another note. i had an account before my current one that i made when i was younger. square enix support said the account never existed but i have emails that prove otherwise

twilit arch
#

the highest grade of materia is 8 currently

surreal panther
#

i then proceed to reuse the email after that conversation

idle heath
#

So is there a reason to keep the older materia? Can it be like infused into higher grade materia?

#

Or do I just get rid of em

vocal bear
#

Hey guys. Is it normal to have issues getting the launcher to accept your credentials?

twilit arch
#

so you could probably sell the grade 4s if you want, or try and gamble them for higher grade (or hope for crafting/gathering materia since those usually sell a bit better)

idle heath
#

How do you gamble them?

twilit arch
#

are you able to log into the mogstation with the same credentials

#

at the bonfire, in central thanalan. you talk to mutamix to transmute them

vocal bear
#

I cant seem to login - I can get into the Square website using them, but the laucher just refuses to let me in.

twilit arch
#

which square website

#

because your store account is not the same one you use to log into the gamme

vocal bear
#

Aw man, thats probably it then, isnt it?

#

How do I recover my creds to login to the launcher?

twilit arch
#

Yeah that's the store account

#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

you need to either make an account on here or try and recover your ID/password if you had made one previous

nocturne wasp
#

So I'm on Aether, Sarg. If I transfer to Gilgamesh in Aether, can I transfer back to Sarg whenever I want?

dense shadow
#

#

nocturne wasp

dense shadow

twilit arch
#

you can play with each other without having to transfer

dense shadow
#

hell yeah, how?

twilit arch
#

unless you want to be in the same free company/share a house

nocturne wasp
#

But w can't see each other in world

I’m imagining weaker potions I should just sell?

oak ice
#

There's really no use for regular HP potions, and most of the time, MP potions are only used by BLMs for an extra flare cast

#

Well, I say "most of the time" but that's really the only use for them

I hang onto them for leveling up alt jobs just in the event I'm out doing a fate or something and things get dicey

Yeah I got it from the story, was just wondering if there was any practical purpose

#

It’s nice to have ig lmao

warped nest

just nice to have

#

nothing amazing

clever quiver
#

I watched the "Basically, which job" video that was pinned here. It was super helpful (and funny). Why is Blue Mage considered a joke?

#

I've noticed you don't see them as much?

twilit arch
#

they're a limited job

#

and intended to be basically side content/something to do for fun

clever quiver
#

ahhhh okay, i see, they're not really a regular class like black and red mages?

twilit arch
#

yeah

clever quiver
#

explains a lot! I've just noticed it's unlocked but couldn't see a guide/explanation

#

scenic orbit
#

I'm a white mage but when I complete quests it says this

#

Is that normal?

unreal aspen
#

yes

#

the exp points always go to the base class

#

it's why smn and sch level up concurrently

scenic orbit
#

Hey so I want to uninstall ff14 and reinstall it onto my SSD. Will I lose all my configuration settings if I do that?

#

Will anything be lost really

vagrant copper
#

I just cut and paste the game folder from one drive to another the other day and everything worked flawlessly. Didn't even have to redownload anything. I suppose I did have to redo some shortcuts but that's nothing.

#

As for losing settings when you uninstall.... I would assume you wouldn't lose anything unless it pops up and asks you if you want to delete everything

#

Though if you're paranoid, you can go make a backup of the Documents\My Games\Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn folder as that's where all that lives

obsidian wren
#

You could also try using the ingame cloud save feature for your ui and settings

#

Not sure if it works for macros

#

I'd just make sure to at least back up your character folder somewhere just in case something breaks

frank anchor
#

what's "limited job" mean when hovering over the blue mage job ?

#

as in incomplete job?

#

wip?

scenic orbit
#

I'll try the cloud feature

worldly totem
#

What’s the most popular us server

obsidian wren
#

@frank anchor blue mage is capped at a lower level, has their own unique skill unlock system and can't normally queue up using duty finder like normal jobs

#

It's kind of a side content thing

indigo orbit
#

Blue Mage is a basically a mini-game haha

frank anchor
#

oh that's interesting thonkang

#

one more thing, currently in an instance, is there a default key to use the limit breaker? not sure how to activate it but I see the bar flashing

oak ice
#

Actions and traits window

#

One of the tabs there has Limit Break

#

Just plop it out on a hotbar

frank anchor
#

oh crap there it is lol thank you

#

amongst so many other skills 🤣

vagrant copper
#

They try to tell you about it the first time you enter a dungeon. When you already have soooo much going on and oh look the tank has already ran away...

#

Happened to me too. "Alright, it's been 20 levels. When I do I get my limit break skill?!" lol

quiet crystal
#

I found my LB button by randomly scrolling over action buttons

Hey so I wanted to ask: ff14 runs a bit poopy on my pc even though my pc is capable of running it very well. Also the shades and textures aren't good. Is there a way to fix this

tropic summit
#

How do the different ways to level FSH compare?
Am I right in thinking that Ocean Fishing and Ishgard Restoration are the most XP-centric ways?

twilit arch
#

leves are by far and away the best, especially since if you have the gil you can easily level it in no time by buying the fish and turning it in

#

that said though, ocean fish is a pretty hefty chunk of exp every 2hrs, collectables are good but can be a bit frustrating/inconsistent as subjected to rng since the collectability of the fish is decided by the size

#

restoration is fine if you're happy to plop down and just fish

tropic summit
#

Oh okay, I heard very conflicting opinions about leves like guides suggesting them to be out of date but alrighty

#

I unlocked collectables recently but I had no idea what the heck was going on when I found an unspoiled node

#

It's like they put a crafting gauge into gathering

twilit arch
#

collectables for botanist/miner can be a bit confusing since you're doing something similar to crafting

tropic summit
#

yeyeye

twilit arch
#

in that you're raising the collectability with skills

#

but fishing is pretty straight forward, you put on the collector's glove and fish

#

if you catch a collectable fish, you need to make sure its min collectability or better and then thats it

tropic summit
#

but then I have 3 kinds of appraisals and all seem to do the same thing but with different levels of risk, right? GWvictoriaNotLikeBlob

slate arrow
#

@native ingot full specs sheet pls

#

but off on a guess, probably CPU limited

tropic summit
#

Ohhh okay, that's good info about fishing collectables though

twilit arch
#

I wanna say there's a collectability rotation in dol lounge, not a 100% sure

#

but can also join teh balance and check out their dol resource channel as i know there's some in there

native ingot
#

I5 7600k
1060ti

tropic summit
#

I did look at some collect rotations but it raised more questions than answers
Cause I saw debates about whether low risk strats are better all around or high risk strats based on gear stats that I also don't understand the breakpoints of

native ingot
#

@slate arrow

slate arrow
#

What's your average framerate?

#

also a 1060ti doesn't exist

#

do you mean 1050ti

#

because just off on a guess I'd assume with a few settings kicked down from max you'd get 60 minimum

#

if you have everything maxed out then yeah you'd run into issues

twilit arch
slate arrow
#

@native ingot see my reply above kaelwryn

nimble rain
#

if it a 1050ti then there's no way you can run FFXIV on max

#

my RX470 couldn't keep stable 60fps at max either and it's way stronger than 1050ti

slate arrow
#

a 1050ti is only slightly better than current gen intel integrated graphics

#

like for reference the base PS4 struggles with FFXIV in 2.0 areas sometimes

little swift
#

#technology-discussion if this gets a tad long but its super useful information that you should consider @native ingot

slate arrow
#

you're a tad long

Hey so im abit of a newbie to this, just hit 52 after a week or so of playing and rn im trying to setup a hotbar because im starting to let people die because im too slow due to spells being all over the place, though im kinda struggling with what should go where
